Smells setting off COPD flare ups
Hi, I’ve always had a sensitive nose but lately certain smells have caused me to have flare ups. Cologne Perfume Smoke and even the change of environment ie:coming from outside to inside.. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Smells never used to bother me but I have become very sensitive to them. Neighbors and their fire pits are starting up now. Even though I have central air, the smell still seems to get in. The smell of cigarettes is the worst for me now. I never thought I would be saying that! I hope you’re doing well and warm wishes!
